EDITORS COMMENTS
Cockerel: Tsuna Goro, 1852" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, showcasing the parody of the Twelfth Sign of the Zodiac, the Rooster or Cockerel. This artwork, created during the Edo period (1603-1868) of Japan, is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic innovation of the Ukiyo-e tradition. The print depicts a fierce and energetic rooster, Tsuna Goro, with a distinctively elaborate hairstyle, adorned with a red ribbon and a rope tied around its neck. The rooster's fiery gaze and menacing expression convey a sense of strength and determination, while the intricate details of its feathers and the delicate shading add depth and texture to the print. The background of the print is filled with various demons and mythical creatures, adding an element of fantasy and intrigue to the piece. The influence of astrology is evident in the title, as the Rooster is the zodiac sign associated with the year of the Rooster in the Chinese and Japanese calendars. This masterpiece is a part of the vast collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the 19th century and the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print's preservation in a museum allows future generations to appreciate the artistic genius of Utagawa Kuniyoshi and the significance of this work in the context of Japanese history and culture. Overall, "Cockerel: Tsuna Goro, 1852" is a captivating and intriguing work of art that showcases the creativity, innovation, and cultural significance of Ukiyo-e during the Edo period. Its inclusion in the LACMA collection is a testament to the enduring appeal and importance of this artistic tradition.
